Peter Chong is found, says police chief
PETALING JAYA: The former aide to a PKR MP who was said to have gone missing since April 5 has been found, Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar announced today. “Missing Peter Chong is back from Pattaya this afternoon,” Khalid said on his Twitter account, while congratulating the police force. On Wednesday, Khalid said police had information that Chong had crossed the border into Thailand at the Bukit Kayu Hitam checkpoint. Chong, a former aide to PKR MP Sivarasa Rasiah, was said to have disappeared days after he related on Facebook about his conversation with a stranger, who warned him to be more careful in the wake of several cases of missing activists. Chong’s disapperance came after the widely reported abduction of Pastor Raymond Koh Keng Joo, as well as the cases of Pastor Joshua Hilmy, his wife Ruth Hilmy and Perlis-based social acitivist Amri Che Mat.
When contacted, Khalid said police were now taking a statement from Chong at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport. “Yes we are doing it (questioning him) now in KLIA,” he said when asked if police would question Chong on his whereabouts. Chong’s son, Darryl, had lodged a police report on April 8 after attempts to contact his father failed. A task force was subsequently formed to look into Chong’s disappearance
